The following graph shows the market for TV sets in Venezuela. The grey line illustrates the world supply curve of TV sets. Suppose that Venezuela imposes a quota that limits imports to 300 TV sets. Use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot the quota-adjusted supply curve on the following graph. (Hint: Make sure you use three points to plot the curve, which is parallel to the original supply curve, with the last point indicating the upper limit allowed by the graph.) Then, use the black point (cross symbol) to indicate the new equilibrium point. PRICE (Dollars per TV set) 600 550 500 450 400 350 300 250 200 150 100 50 0 As a result of the quota, price rises by $ Supply Sworld Demand 0 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 1000 QUANTITY (Number of TV sets) A Swith quota + Ewith quota and consumer surplus falls by $ (?)

Using supply-and-demand diagrams explain how the following events would affect the supply or demand in each market (draw the original demand and supply and in the same graph draw the NEW demand or supply-showing your shifts) and how the quantity and price of in equilibrium will be affected: a) An ongoing, chronic shortage of long-haul drivers is creating major issues with trucking capacity, leading to delays when transporting goods across countries. Also, because building materials like steel beams, concrete slabs, pipes, logs, etc. are large and very heavy, it’s common for companies to use oversized flatbed fleet trucks or tractor trailer fleet trucks to ship them around the country. What happens in the market of building materials due to this event? b) What happens in the market for ramen noodle soup if: there is a world-wide recession that decreases consumers' incomes (assume ramen noodle soup is an inferior good)?
The Orlando Sentinel newspaper had an August 30, 2019 story titled “Hurricane Dorian: Florida activates price-gouging hotline.” Florida has a “Price Gouging Statute” which makes it illegal to raise prices on essential commodities when an official State of Emergency has been declared. This is, essentially, a price ceiling at the pre-emergency levels. While no one can argue with a law that tries to limit exploitation of people in times of emergency, we can as economists analyze the impact of this government intervention. Consider the market for some essential commodity, such as ice. Assume the demand curve slopes down and the supply curve slopes up. Depict the equilibrium before the emergency. On the same graph show the impact of the emergency, clearly identifying any shifts in the curves and any changes in the market equilibrium in the market for ice, keeping in mind the following two outcomes of the hurricane: Electricity is not operating, refrigerators are useless, and people…
Your uncle is very upset because after a recent snow storm he was charged $300 by a private snow- removal company to clear his driveway. He wants to petition the local village government to pass a law to put a cap on how much firms can charge for clearing driveways. As a student of economics, your uncle asks your advice on the wording of his petition. Provide a short response to your uncle in the form of a letter. Do you agree with him on the price ceiling, or disagree? How should this issue best be addressed?
The linear demand curve is: Q = 100 - 4P The linear supply curve is: QS = -20 + 2P For each of the following questions, you need to show the basic calculation steps. 1) Given the above market demand and supply curves for the bottled wine in a hypothetical economy, please calculate the market equilibrium price and market equilibrium quantity for a bottle of wine. 2) If the government decides to charge an excise tax at the rate of 3 for each bottle of wine, what is the tax burden on consumers? And what is the tax burden on the firms? Show your calculation steps. B) Who shares more of the tax burden, the consumer or the firms? Please explain the reasons behind it.

The following graph gives the labor market for laboratory aides in the imaginary country of Sophos. The equilibrium hourly wage is $10, and the equilibrium number of laboratory aides is 250. Suppose the federal government of Sophos has decided to institute an hourly payroll tax of $4 on laboratory aides and wants to determine whether the tax should be levied on the workers, the employers, or both (in such a way that half the tax is collected from each party). Use the graph input tool to evaluate these three proposals. Entering a number into the Tax Levied on Employers field (initially set at zero dollars per hour) shifts the demand curve down by the amount you enter, and entering a number into the Tax Levied on Workers field (initially set at zero dollars per hour) shifts the supply curve up by the amount you enter. To determine the before-tax wage for each tax proposal, adjust the amount in the Wage field until the quantity of labor supplied equals the quantity of labor demanded. You…

In 2014, the U.S. House of Representatives approved a new farm bill establishing the Margin Protection Program (MPP) for dairy producers. Assume that the program has effectively created a price floor for milk at $0.18 per pound. Use the following additional information to answer the following questions: Without the price floor, the equilibrium price of milk is $0.15 per pound, and the equilibrium quantity is 200 billion pounds of milk. The supply curve intersects the price axis at $0.05 and the demand curve intersects the price axis at $0.25. At the price floor of $0.18, the quantity supplied is 260 billion, and the quantity demanded is 140 billion. To support the price floor, the USDA buys up the 120 billion pounds of excess milk. i. With the price floor at $0.18 per pound of milk, how much consumer surplus is created? Do not round your answer. ii. With the price floor at $0.18 per pound of milk, how much producer surplus is created? Do not round your answer. iii. With the price…

When the USDA purchases the excess supply, the milk soon spoils and is discarded. As a result, the total surplus is reduced by the amount the USDA spent buying surplus milk. Assume that the taxes used to pay for the USDA purchases are not levied on the…
